Still learning after all these years...

[Brett Nicholson]

In the midst of a Vassal game with Hugmenot* I realized I had been playing a small but consequential rule wrong since I started PG:

A leader with a combat modifier can combine fire from multiple hexes AND add his modifier to the fire total.

I had always played it as OR, which has no basis in the rules.

Anyone else around here have one of these moments from time to time?

* - head-to-head play remains the best way to learn the rules, bar none

That's good to know now. It was only a month back that I realized that the leader combat modifier could also be used in an assault and not just direct fire. With British and Commonwealth INF units at a 4-3 rating it has changed play a lot bring the assault column up one level. I still after almost a year at PG this time around consider myself a beginner.
